None, it's 2D Dark Souls.

Whaaaat? Well thanks for the heads up lmao. No, no, no...no.

And SOMA looks scary as shit so I'm going to pass on that. Will likely pick up Cosmic Star Heroine and call it a day.

 

[e_i]

People really need to get Cosmic Star Heroine

I concur. It's an AWESOME game. If you love Chrono Trigger, then this game is a must.

 

[DangerMouse]

Joining in with Cosmic Star Heroine is awesome.

Buy it if you don't have it and like these types of games.

It's not as unforgiving as DS if that's the reason you are skeptical.

 

[DeviantBoi]

Can anyone tell me if The Witness did anything to address the motion sickness from release?

It was unplayable for me. After a few minutes, I had to lie down because I felt horrible. Had to request a refund.

 

[HeresSomeWeapons]

None, it's 2D Dark Souls.

Did we play the same game? While yes, it is 2D Dark Souls, it's also VERY Metroidvania.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Nice, Salt and Sanctuary works on the PSTV. I still use mine quite a bit when I travel, it's a great little box for hooking up to hotel TVs, always good to have another game for it.

 

[Sagroth]

In for Cosmic Star Heroine.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Have a lot of stuff on that list already but, went ahead and purchased:

Amnesia Collection
Darkest Dungeon
Samurai Showdown 6
Dear Esther
Fatal Fury
Teslagrad
Talos Principle

 

[Ace Harding]

These summer sales need to stop. My PS backlog is getting ridiculous.

I think I'll pick up The Witness and Garou. Definitely been meaning to play the former and in the mood for some environmental puzzling.

 

[breakfuss]

Anything even remotely in that vein isn't for me. Don't have patience. Not a knock at the game though as I love its style.

Have you played The Unfinished Swan? That's the only game that ever completely laid me out lol. If it's anywhere as bad as that looks like I'll have to skip it.

 

[BadHand]

LA Cops is not a bad little Hotline Miami clone with levelling up and skill points, I had fun with it when it released and got the platinum trophy quite easily.

I'm gonna buy Dear Esther and preorder Superhot VR I think.

Then I'm gonna start playing games that aren't Crash Bandicoot for a while. I think.

 

[FlyinJ]

Doubling this. Not a good game.

Tripling this. Teslagrad is garbage... do not get it.

Weird, I never even heard about this.

 

[Beatofficer]

Anyone have any feedback on Plague Road, didn't that just come out less than a month ago?

 

[FlyinJ]

It came out last week, and is already 75% off. I can't find a single review of it anywhere either.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Cross Buy games

2064 ROM

Definitely getting this as well then.

 

[gothmog]

Ouch, my wallet. Picking up Talos, 100ft Robot Golf, and CSH. Sony has become Steam.

Witness, SOMA, Inside/Limbo, Darkest Dungeon, Galak-Z, and Salt and Sanctuary are all highly recommended, but I already have them.

 

[Yoss]

I'm going to grab Cosmic Star Heroine for sure, I've been wanting to play that for a while but kept telling myself to get through more of my backlog first.

Now I just need to decide about Snake Pass, NBA Playgrounds, and Skull Girls.

 

[Backlogger]

Cross Buy games

Cosmic Star Herione
Salt And Sanctuary
Darkest Dungeon
Skullgirls 2nd Encore
Plague Road
Garou Mark of the Wolves (comes with both PS4 and Vita dynamic themes)
Last Blade 2 ( comes with both PS4 and Vita dynamic themes)
Teslagrad
2064 ROM
Home - A Unique Horror Adventure
Machinarium
Titan Souls
Race the Sun
Disco Defenders
Guacamelee

Sorry if someone already posted this and it may not work for all but Teslagrad was actually showing as free on the Vita version for me. I grabbed it and ended up giving me the PS4 and PS3 versions free as well. This was a couple hours ago.

 

[FlyinJ]

FYI-

Salt and Sanctuary is cross-buy, but it isn't cross-save.

Very annoying.

 

[HYDE]

Did we play the same game? While yes, it is 2D Dark Souls, it's also VERY Metroidvania.

What I was thinking...Dark Souls is a metroidvania.
Is Salt & Sanctuary a metroidvania and similar to Dark Souls? I still am on the edge about it. Skeptical since the dishwasher dude made it. Is this his best game so far??

 

[ClarkZuckerberg]

Anyone played 100 foot robot golf without PS VR? Worth it?

 

[CrackPebbles]

I'll pick up Garou, Cosmic Star Heroine, Galak-Z, and 2064.

 

[kcurlsjr]

What's the word on Late Shift?

Was it fun or interesting? I get that it's more of an interactive movie, but was it executed well?

Hell, $7.49 is about what an iTunes rental costs...worth it?

 

[Kusagari]

How is Ronin?

 

[phant0m]

Buy SOMA, kids.

 

[Apathy]

CSH and salt and sanctuary, go buy them

 

[Beatofficer]

It came out last week, and is already 75% off. I can't find a single review of it anywhere either.

I was checking Steam and noticed it said 1 review. I clicked and there's about a dozen reviews with 99% of them being negative.

 

[Eric Hall]

Tons of good stuff already recommended (Salt, Talos, Inside), but I also recommend Klaus if you're a fan of platformers. Interesting style and has some unique mechanics. I picked it up during a sale last year and really enjoyed it. A steal at $3.99

 

[t hicks]

Got Amnesia, been waiting for it to go on sale + I love SOMA and never played the 1st Amnesia

 

[Goldenroad]

What's the word on Late Shift?

YES! buy it. We need more interactive content like this on consoles. It's the first game since Her Story that my g/f and I have been able to play together in this way. So, her, as a non-gamer, and me...not being a non-gamer, but enjoyed it immensely. The story isn't the greatest thing ever, but it's still better than 90% of video game stories, and the choices just add more gravity to the situation.

Dark Souls isnt a Metroidvania.

I don't know that I'd call Dark Souls a metroidvania since there's generally no reason to ever go back to areas you've cleared, but Salt is a true metroidvania. There's a huge interconnected world with incentive to go back after acquiring new abilities. The Castlevania influence in map design and combat is strong, but sometimes it's hard to tell how much of that is intentional or just a side effect of making Dark Souls in 2D space.

 

[Alastor3]

Playing Snake Pass on Switch and it is amazing, so that's my recommendation. 🐍

it seems so slow, all you have to do is collect things?

 

[George Claw M.D.]

Wow. This is one of the best sales in recent memory. Added over a dozen games to my wishlist for purchase consideration.

 

[Cell_Biology]

Yakuza 5 is totally digital, hope we get that.

 

[sturgboski]

Salt and Sanctuary is cross-buy but it is NOT cross-save. Which kind of defeats the purpose unless you want to go through it twice.

Really? Why are so many games coming out like this? Same game on both consoles, no cross save. Completely defeats the purpose of wanting/buying/playing both. I've been play Ys on Vita and went looking but can't find a cross save so might as well delete from the PS4.

 

[NewDust]

Bought:

• Absolute Drift
• Dear Esther
• GNOG
• KLAUS
• Late Shift
• Snake Pass
• Wayward Sky

That should do for the stylish and story games.

 

[Sir Doom]

In for Soma

 

[Mathieran]

I only got Salt & Sanctuary, think it's the first time I've seen it on sale. I could have bought like 5 other games but my backlog is long and I've been getting burned a lot lately buying games that end up on PS+ before I get to playing them.

 

[Opa-Pa]

Whaaaat? Well thanks for the heads up lmao. No, no, no...no.

And SOMA looks scary as shit so I'm going to pass on that. Will likely pick up Cosmic Star Heroine and call it a day.

What. No. Salt and Sanctuary is definitely Metroidvania.

It's essentially 2D Dark Souls, yes, but guess what kind of genre an officially made 2D Dark Souls game would resemble... Yeah.

It's literally a Metroidvania with Souls inspired combat and mechanics, and it's glorious. It even has unlockable abilities that help you progress further in the game, which is definitely a Metroidvania thing.

 

[Goldenroad]

Dark Souls isnt a Metroidvania.

Yeah. It's got some Castlevania like gameplay features, but there is pretty much no Metroid in Dark Souls.

 

[Kill3r7]

I really want to buy Darkest Dungeon but I hate rougelike games. Any opinions?

Otherwise picked up Salt&Sanctuary and Cosmic Star Heroine. Otherwise I own everything else I might want.

 

[Jack Scofield]

I played Machinarium a few years ago on iPad and loved it. It has great art and I highly recommend it.

 

[Toki767]

Seems like PSN may be moving to bi-weekly sales since this sale lasts for 2 weeks.

Plus it says "Round 1" and not "Week 1" on the banner.

 

[sn00zer]

Is the Witness worth it?

Its one of the best games ever made if you are into environmental puzzles games so yes

 

[netguy503]

Seems like PSN may be moving to bi-weekly sales since this sale lasts for 2 weeks.

There will be a new sale each week for the next 3 weeks straight under this label.

 

[graywolf323]

Wow. This is one of the best sales in recent memory. Added over a dozen games to my wishlist for purchase consideration.

I keep running up against an increasingly lower wishlist limit because apparently I had some games on my wishlist that were pulled from the store yet despite them not showing on my wishlist they still count towards that stupid limit >_<

 

[dragonflys545]

Are we gonna get a flash sale this Friday?
